One Hour Design Challenge: Theft Proof Bicycles

Seen on Core77:

New 1HDC just launched! Win a $200 gift certificate at Harris Cyclery.

We all remember when our first Huffy was stolen. The realization that some lazy-eyed cretin had stripped away our freedom all for the purpose of a 15 minutes joy ride hit us like a ton of bricks. Maybe that was just me, but no one can argue that bike theft is rampant. A recent discussion on the Core77 Blog about a Biomega bike that attempts to turn the whole bike into the bike lock is the inspiration for our latest 1HDC incarnation. Can you design a better bike lock in one hour or less? Push aside that looming deadline and pick up your Sharpies…it’s 1HDC time again! What can you bring to the table to prevent more Huffy Heartache?
